How do I contact the shelter about Julia?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Triple A Marbella handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Julia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Julia if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Triple A Marbella will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Julia already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Julia isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Triple A Marbella early rather than rehoming privately; they know Julia and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Julia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Julia was brought to the shelter by workers from a cement centre near the shelter, one of the employees had been looking after Julia, while her vagabond human had left her in trouble. She arrived to us scared, quiet, skinny and looking rough. After a week or so in the shelter, she quickly realised, hey this is not so bad perhaps - belly is full, volunteers keep giving me butt scratches and brush me, and I can run in the bushes during my walkies. But still, a life in the shelter is not what Julia is looking for.... After wandering the streets already for a long time, she is now dreaming of food and a soft bed, and more than anything - hew very own human. Julia loves massages, going for energetic walks with volunteers, and in the free-running dog parks she becomes a playful puppy! First time you meet her, you might think, oh she is so quiet and shy, but you're mistaken! She is lively, playful, happy and ready to run you over in the park, if you cannot keep up with her! Julia now invites you to play with her, and during the breaks, she snuggles her face in your hands, or in your pockets, if you have snacks. She has a very adorable underbite, that is making her ever more adorable. Julia loves to do little exercises with you, and she is so ready to learn. We can see that humans have not built much connection with her in her previous life, because she is capable of keeping herself busy, and being connected to a human doesn’t seem like her first natural instinct, but more and more she sees and feels the connection to volunteers. It is as if she is surprised when a human is calling her and inviting her to do something together. We have not yet tested her with other dogs, but she passes other dogs peacefully and does not make any drama, so we believe she can potentially live together with others as well. Her shoulder height is 66cm. At the moment Julia is still a bit skinny, but she has gained strength and energy, and is now beautifully mobile and active.

About Julia

What life with Julia looks like

Julia is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.
